I think you’re save leaving it on the burner. The worst thing that could happen is the rice on the bottom would become crispy. The crispy rice tastes great served on top of the steamed rice.

Just wanted to thank you again for this wonderful recipe. I gave some leftovers to my sister and she was so impressed that she organised an Indian food themed dinner party. I was asked to make this Pilau recipe and she made Pakoras (sp?) as a swap/bribe People finished off the rice quickly!
I will be trying out more of your recipes

I often make paellas and simply add the saffron at the end to the stock. That works fine.
